Professor Martin Smith, Head of Surgery at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, put it to (topic presenter) Williams that he was ‘right now sitting with two letters on my desk insisting we withdraw services because of resource constraints’. ‘We’re suffering because we never close our doors (to patients). What about a clinician withdrawing services to achieve better patient care?’ he asked. Williams...

We study the most general communication paradigm on a multiprocessor, wherein each processor has a distinct message (of possibly distinct lengths) for each other processor. We study this paradigm, which we call chatting, on multiprocessors that do not allow messages once dispatched ever to be delayed on their routes. By insisting on oblivious routes for messages, we convert the communication pr...

The other important property of reactive systems is the inherent concurrency of their functionality. By notions of modern software design, the natural concurrency in interaction between a reactive system and its environment and within the system itself has to be reflected on the embedded software architecture. Insisting on the resemblance between the real-life problem structure and the structur...

Abstract An assessment of the work January 6th committee investigating assault on U.S. Capitol in 2021. The commentary addresses committee’s as an exercise institutionalist anti-populism that seeks to disrupt populist, Trumpist narrative by insisting rule law, power expertise, and value norms maintaining a liberal, democratic order. It offers analysis how might contribute demise social movement...

In this paper, we document our efforts to extend our statistical question answering system for TREC-11. We incorporated a web search feature, and novel extensions of statistical machine translation as well as extracting lexical patterns for exact answers from a supervised corpus. Without modification to our base set of thirty-one categories, we were able to achieve a confidence weighted score o...

This special issue on Provocations aims to propel scholarly discourse in pre-college engineering education with thought-provoking papers. Without provocation we risk haphazardly designing research studies, courses, and curricula that can hinder transformation or veneer what is critical. We expect the will foster an epistemological dissonance while insisting field of redefine its purpose, assump...

aim: aim of present study was to review the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on visfatin total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein of middle age females. materials and methods: for these purpose 30 females (mean age 48/73±9/44 y, height 156/03±5/6 cm and weight 68/37±10/57 kg) who attend in odd day’s morning sport class of hejab gymnasium of shiraz city after fill health and informed...

We perform an analysis of the Renormalization Group evolution of the couplings in an extension to the Standard Model which contains a real triplet in the Higgs sector. Insisting that the model remain valid up to 1 TeV allow us to map out the region of allowed mass for the Higgs bosons. We conclude that it is possible for there to be no light Higgs bosons without any otherwise dramatic deviation...

The major rout of vitamin D biosynthesis (Calcitriol) in human body starts with the direct recipient of sunlight (UV-B) through the skin (1). Now, deficiency of vitamin D has a negative impact on bone health, muscular system, fertility and immune system. Besides, vitamin D deficiency more likely to be a risk factor for many lifethreatening and debilitating illnesses such as various types of can...

We reexamine the contact interaction hypothesis for excess high-Q events seen at HERA in ep → eX scattering. We consider the most general structure of contact interactions insisting on SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1)Y invariance. Apart from constraints for ee → qq̄ , Drell-Yan and atomic parity violation experiments, we find stringent constraints from neutrino deep inelastic data, provided one assumes lepton...
